After completing a 90 program at ABC Recovery Center I moved into their sober living. From there I found Cielo Spiritual Retreat. When selecting a sober living I was fortunate enough to have multiple perspectives on multiple places due to the large amount of friends I had made in the recovery community. I like Cielo because it feels more like home than an institution. It provides all the accountability I'm looking for with weekly testing, curfew and check ins, but enough flexibility I can still build my life back up. The staff facilitates a community feel. The other residents are respectful and I've come trust them and there's always an open ear. The staff also takes pride in the house which I greatly appreciate. Anything I've needed, be it a ride to a meeting, something added to the grocery list, etc. it has always been addressed quickly. What appealed to me most is is the groups they offer. There are CODA meetings here now, sound baths which are really cool and relaxing, meditations and lessons by people that are brought in special to teach us different approaches to recovery. As a gay male I feel really safe and accepted. Not to mention a jacuzzi! I've been here a month and will continue to stay as long as I'm welcome. read more

We have meditation, daily meetings, and a weekly sound bath. We have family meals nightly. I have met friends that I now consider family.

Michelle's plastic surgeon was obviously not board certified looking at her new photos. Wow!! She has a knack for removing all negative reviews. I suggest talking to the clients she has held hostage in that eyesore of a home in Cathedral City when Cruella I mean Michelle is not there and see what she really has to say. Has she turned the Air Conditioning on yet? That cheap J.AP. read more
